Mrs. Zollicoffer started life in Henderson a shy bride but was quickly drawn into public life by her husband's bid to become prosecuting attorney. Through that election and those that followed, ultimately landing her husband in the state legislature, she became an expert campaigner, introducing herself to strangers everywhere, right down to the checkout line, and asking for their vote.

Leslie Perry Memorial Library in Henderson and was a member of the Board of Trustees from 1993 until 2004. "She never missed an opportunity to talk to folks about the importance of the library in our community," recalled retired library director Jeanne Fox.
